California Prison Guards on Defensive

California Prison Guards on Defensive 06/22/2004 10:48 AM

Mercury News (reg req): Guard union in showdown. For more than a decade, California's prison guards have had it their way. Hefty salary increases that outpaced most state workers have made them among the highest-paid prison guards in the country. Favorable overtime rules last year brought the paychecks of 362 officers over $100,000. The guards' union, a generous campaign donor, has been allowed a strong hand in running prisons. But the union's currency, literally and figuratively, has suddenly been devalued. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the state's wealthy, increasingly popular leader, neither wants nor needs the group's contributions. The very strength of the prison guards' union has become a weakness.

About time, too. California's prison-industrial complex is one of the reasons the state has gotten into such trouble, fiscal and otherwise. Our prison population grows, in large part due to the idiocy of the War on (Some) Drugs, which treats a medical problem as a criminal one and creates entire new classes of criminals. Meanwhile, our schools continue to wither. Some public policy that is. The guards have a tough job. But they've created a monster of their own, and now they're being held to account. Let's hope the legislative reformers stick to their guns on this one.

Few organizations in California have anything near the clout wielded by the prison guards. Their union is mean and powerful, protecting what I hope is a minority of rogue guards whose actions have disgraced the system and the state. It needs to be brought to heel.
